Tangentially related, but any chance you did an aerial of the block near Pape they demolished?

Unfortunately not. I was a late arrival to the site.

Goodness, they are really planning on nuking 3/4's of that intersection. And not being the only proposal there.

It looks like the satellite imaging for UT Maps And Google picked up a resurfacing renovation for the North East corner McDonald's there, 'cause the current and historical Street View suggests that's still there and has been there for awhile. Thus me mistaking this for a demo job...
Therefore, I now amend my original statement to to 1/2 of the intersection. My apologies for this. >.<

I really hope that fine-grained retail strip will be replaced by something similar and not just block-long walls of glass...

This demolition looks massive and way to much for just building a station? What else is going in there?

And I'm sure once plans progress, the developer will propose 50-storey towers given that these will be sitting directly on top of a major transit station.Cosburn Transit-Oriented Community North | UrbanToronto

"Street-level retail storefronts would be designed with 10-to-11m widths to retain the small-scale, retail pattern that is characteristic of Pape Village.
The Cosburn TOC would include retail space for businesses, accommodating approximately 55 jobs, designed to support small-scale and micro-retail opportunities that will contribute to the existing character of Pape Avenue."
It'll still be glass though

There is a cross-over switch at the south end which is also being excavated by cut & cover; that makes for a very long pit.
